Klaus Schmidt at Tedxprague (Transcript) What is Göbekli Tepe: Klaus Schmidt at TEDxPrague (Transcript) Klaus Schmidt – TEDx Talk TRANSCRIPT Ladies and gentlemen, now we are going a little bit under the surface, we are coming to archeology and to a project which is one of the most important projects of the last years. Those are not only my words – I am the director of this project – but it is internationally told like this. It’s a project in southeastern Turkey, the site called Göbekli Tepe. Göbekli Tepe means ‘mound with belly.’ It’s just its name, an old name from the map. We didn’t invent this name, but it shows a little bit, or it’s recognizable – we’ve some natural limestone plateau here and all this mound which is not a natural mound but an artificial mound, this is the belly on the mound explaining the name. The project is done by the German Archeological Institute where I come from too, but in close cooperation with the local authorities, especially the General Directorate for Antiquities in Ankara, and the University of Sanliurfa, the Harran University, and some other institutions, mainly responsible for the conservation and the restoration of the site. For the scientific work, we have financing mainly from the German Research Foundation which is financing the project, which is a long-term project. We are now in the 20th year of work, and we hope to continue for many, many years in the future. Okay, that’s the framing. I have to say all this: who are the institutions and who is giving money for our work at the site. BUT WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS SITE? At first, I already showed you this location. It’s a huge limestone ridge, and this artificial mound is on top of it. Such artificial mounds are very common in the Near East. They are called ‘tell’ in Arabic language or ‘tepe’ or ‘höyük’ in Turkish language. I think some will know ‘Çatalhöyük, ‘ an old Neolithic site in central Anatolia, and Göbekli is a site like this, but it has some specifics, it’s a unique site because it’s much older than all the other ones. It belongs to the 10th and 9th millennium BC. So, it means, roughly spoken, some monuments there are 12,000 years old, 12,000 before today, or 10,000, the 10th millennium BC. That’s just after the Ice Age. Who knows a bit about geology, knows that the Ice Age was a global phenomenon. Now, with the ice corings in Greenland, we can date it very, very exactly. It was not a long process, the end of the Ice Age. It was what we call a rapid climate change. A very rapid © The Singju Post | 1 What is Göbekli Tepe: Klaus Schmidt at TEDxPrague (Transcript) development, around 9,600. And that’s the time when the building activity at Göbekli started. I told you, an artificial mound made by humans by erecting buildings, walls, and other things above each other. So, the mound was created. This is not so special in the Near East, but, as I told you, the time frame, 10th-9th millennium, that’s very strange. We didn’t expect it in this time, when all over the world, people were still hunter-gatherers, that they had been able to produce such buildings, to do such huge work and much more. We will see some examples of the world of Göbekli Tepe, which is such an unexpected and unknown world before. Many say Göbekli Tepe is changing the history. That’s not true, it’s not changing it, but it’s adding a very important chapter to the history of humanity, a chapter we didn’t know that it existed before. And this chapter is about the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to farming, to food- producing societies. This is a form of subsistence that our basis agrarian societies are still based on, and this was invented in this region at this time. This region is the Near East. We will see some maps later. And here, about the mound, an aerial view. When we started the project in ’95, what we could see was nearly nothing, just trees and fields. It was used for agriculture by the local people, but the surface findings had been showing us very clearly the importance of the site, and the dating by diagnostic flint tools and other tools. Pottery is not existent, not yet invented. So, we call this stage in archeology the pre-pottery Neolithic culture, before the invention of pottery, but it’s the beginning of the Neolithic. The Neolithic period means food producing period in our terms. To understand the importance of Göbekli Tepe we have to enlarge our frame to a global view. On this map in red you see all the regions in the world where this transition from hunter- gatherer cultures to food-producing cultures happened independently from each other. We have some regions in Meso-America, South America, in the South-East, and, of course you are right, this are the numbers BC written about some. In Africa very late in comparison to this core area in the Near East where the transition happened around 9,000, or late 10th, early 9th millennium. The region, in the long time, we © The Singju Post | 2 What is Göbekli Tepe: Klaus Schmidt at TEDxPrague (Transcript) call the Fertile Crescent of the Near East because in the South we have the Arabian desert, to the North the Mountains of the Taurus and the Zagros Mountains. This is the area with the most favorable climatic conditions, the most favorable geographic conditions: the Fertile Crescent. For a long time, we thought that the western wing was important regarding the development of earlier agrarian civilizations, but now we understand, through research not only by our team, but by many teams, and in the national groups of American, French, British, Turkish, Italian, Japanese, German, and other archaeologists working in this region, we understand that there is something like a Golden Triangle within this Fertile Crescent where the most important things are going on. And Göbekli Tepe is located in the Golden Triangle, and it has a very important role. We will see some of the monuments that we are excavating there. The other sites marked here in red belong to this time, to the 10th-9th millennium, but these are settlements of this period. Settlements of settled hunters-gatherers. It was a new discovery of 20-25 years ago, that we already have settled hunters-gatherers. We thought that hunters-gatherers are always nomadic, but in this region they changed their life already before the invention of food-producing. Göbekli Tepe is not a settlement. It belongs to it, but is only a sanctuary, or many sanctuaries together. We’ll see examples. Neolithic, just to have an idea of what it means: from wild to domestic. Mainly here from wild to domestic cereals, they are getting much bigger. With animals it’s a little more difficult, which is the reason why only four animals had been domesticated. That’s a beginning: goat, sheep, cattle, and pig. We exclude the dog; it was domesticated earlier, by the hunters-gatherers already. But it’s a different story, it was domesticated not for meat production, but to be the fellow of the hunters. But this means Neolithic societies, food-producing societies, on the base of domesticated species, plants, and animals. Our prediction that this site of Göbekli Tepe is so important was completely fulfilled during the excavations. Here the excavation work in an aerial view from 2011 with several areas. And there are many findings, like these flint tools; very common. Or findings like sculptures. The flints are known from everywhere, but not such large-scale sculptures like these ones or © The Singju Post | 3 What is Göbekli Tepe: Klaus Schmidt at TEDxPrague (Transcript) composite monuments like this totem pole sculpture with several elements on top: maybe a lion, here an eye, an ear, and below a human and another human. A very exciting composition and an art, which we didn’t know before, which is challenging our ability to interpret. And the most important monumental architecture — sorry, I’m mixing here — monumental architecture: mainly ovals or circles with pillars, delineated by pillars. Two of the pillars are very big ones, always in the center, and the pillars always T-shaped. This strange T-shape we can understand — here another view of these enclosures: the surrounding oval with some T-shapes which are smaller, and the central pillars here, the T- shapes. Fortunately, we can understand the meaning of these T-shapes, which at first seem a little bit strange. Highly stylized humans are depicted because in some cases we have arms depicted, we have the hands, the fingers, and some parts of garment are depicted. So, the T-shapes are stylized humans, and very often in Göbekli Tepe we have animals depicted like attributes on the T-shapes. The T-shapes are unique in history. We don’t have T-shapes in the Palaeolithic period before, we don’t have them after the time of Göbekli Tepe, which ends with the 9th millennium. There are just some very rough comparisons like the ‘taulas’ in Menorca, but this is a very different function, a very different meaning. It’s really a table: ‘taula’ means table. These are tables, no connection with the T-shapes of Göbekli Tepe. These T-shapes are so important because looking back to the upper Palaeolithic art like Lascaux, Altamira, or the recently discovered caves of Chauvet or Cosquer: here the animals are always dominant, the animals are at the center.

Nile Valley-Levant interactions: an eclectic review Ofer Bar-Yosef Department of Anthropology, Harvard University Opening remarks Writing a review of a prehistoric province as an outsider is not a simple task. The archaeological process, as we know today, is an integration of data sets – the information from the field and the laboratory analyses, and the interpretation that depends on the paradigm held by the writer affected by his or her personal experience. Even monitoring the contents of most of the published and online literature is a daunting task. It is particularly true for looking at the Egyptian Neolithic during the transition from foraging to farming and herding, when most of the difficulties originate from the poorly known bridging regions. A special hurdle is the terminological conundrum of the Neolithic, as Andrew Smith and Alison Smith discusses in this volume, and in particular the term “Neolithisation” that finally made its way to the Levantine literature.

The discovery of two sites Neolithization; prehistoric (Kocaman and Kayadibi) in the Karaburun Peninsula in coastal western Turkey opens a whole new Anatolia; lithics; Izmir; Turkey window into our understanding of these periods in Turkey and beyond by providing the first solid evidence for pre-Neolithic foragers. This article presents typological and technological properties of the lithics from these two open-air sites in terms of raw material selection, tool types, and technological preferences and discusses the results in relation to contemporary Anatolian, Aegean, southwest Asian, and southeast European industries.

    Projectile weapon elements from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Neolithic (Proceedings of session C83, XVth World Congress UISPP, Lisbon, September 4-9, 2006) LUNATE MICROLITHS IN THE HOLOCENE INDUSTRIES OF NUBIA : MULTIFUNCTIONAL TOOLS, SICKLE BLADES OR WEAPON ELEMENTS ? Matthieu Honegger Abstract 162 In Nubia, lunates (circle segments) are one of the most characteristic tools from the beginning of the Holocene to the end of proto-history, or even later. According to some interpretations, they are generally considered as being arrowhead or sickle blades. Taking into account archaeological examples, very diverse in their context and dating, the present article tries to summarize our knowledge on the question of their function. While previous studies have essentially taken into account the existence of traces or organic residues (gloss or polish, hafting glue, handle or shaft) French-speaking review in Prehistory review French-speaking and less often the context of discovery (tips driven into human bones or embedded in skeletons), they have not, on the other hand, considered the question of impact fractures and the dimensions of lunates. By collecting all these observations, it is possible to differentiate small sized lunates having mainly been used as projectile tips or barbs and bigger pieces meant to fit knives for cutting vegetal materials or sickles. We can however not exclude other uses for some of the lunates, as it is possible that pieces of medium dimensions could have had a functioned as arrowheads or sickle blades. Finally, we can observe a tendency through time toward a reduction in size of the lunates and a greater standardization of the pieces intended to be used as projectiles.

  • Mortars and Binders Before and After the Roman World
    EMU Notes in Mineralogy, Vol. 20 (2019), Chapter 4, 151–202 The Vitruvian legacy: Mortars and binders before and after the Roman world Gilberto ARTIOLI, Michele SECCO and Anna ADDIS Department of Geosciences and CIRCe Centre, Universita` di Padova, Via Gradenigo 6, 35131 Padova, Italy e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] A brief history of the nature, use and technology of binders in ancient constructions and buildings is outlined, including the apparent chronological discontinuities related to technological developments. The skilled and clever use of mineral resources is at the base of the technical achievements related to architectural activities, from simple adobe to high-performance modern concrete. It is argued that among pre-industrial binders the Roman pozzolanic mortars were highly optimized materials, skillfully prepared and very durable. Their innovative use in architecture is one of the keys of the successful expansion of the Roman Empire. The role of mineralogy and mineral reactions is emphasized in terms of: (1) the preparation and manufacturing of the binding materials; (2) the hardening process and the development of the physical properties of the binder; and (3) the archaeometric reconstruction of the ancient materials. 1. Historical survey Living in a sheltered place, permanently or temporarily, is a fundamental need of humans. Nevertheless, the use of natural materials to build shelter is not exclusive to humans: termite mounds, bird nests, beaver dams, and beehives are perfect examples of efficient architectural skills on the part of animals. According to Mike Ashby ‘‘the difference lies in the competence demonstrated by man in his extraordinary ability to expand and adapt that competence and development’’ (Ashby, 2013, p.

  • A Social Perspective on the Neolithic in Western Iran
    Documenta Praehistorica XLIII (2016) A social perspective on the Neolithic in western Iran Hojjat Darabi Department of Archaeology, Razi University, Kermanshah, IR [email protected] ABSTRACT – While the Neolithic revolution caused gradual basic changes in different dimensions of human life, including social structure, western Iran has so far mostly received attention in terms of the emergence of domestication and sedentarisation. Generally speaking, some evidence, such as architectural elements, burial goods, clay tokens, and scarce artefacts such as obsidian pieces and marble objects not only determine an inter-regional interaction, but also suggest craft specialisation. It is believed that sedentary life and private food storage paved the way for property ownership and that a gradual change from egalitarian to non-egalitarian societies can be seen in the Neolithic of western Iran. IZVLE∞EK – Medtem ko je neolitska revolucija povzro≠ila postopne osnovne spremembe v razli≠nih dimenzijah ≠love∏kega ∫ivljenja, tudi v dru∫beni strukturi, je obmo≠je zahodnega Irana dele∫no po- zornosti predvsem zaradi pojava domestikacije in sedentarizacije. Posplo∏eno, nekateri podatki, npr. arhitekturni elementi, grobni pridatki, glineni ∫etoni in redki artefakti iz obsidiana in marmorja, ne dolo≠ajo le med-regionalne interakcije ampak tudi specializirane obrti. Verjamemo, da sedentar- ni na≠in ∫ivljenja in privatno shranjevanje hrane predstavljata osnovo za privatno lastni∏tvo, in da lahko v ≠asu neolitika na obmo≠ju zahodnega Irana opazujemo postopen prehod med egalitarno in neegalitarno dru∫bo.
